I was driven from Lilongwe to South Luangwa Game Park by Johnnie Kabwilo of Misuku Expeditions
I had already booked a safari and needed transport to and from the game park in South Luangwa, Zambia, from Lilongwe. The game lodge recommended Misuku Expeditions. I booked the travel by email travel from the UK. My plans changed slightly but this was no problem - I had immediate replies to my emails and my changes were accommodated in a very friendly helpful way. Punctuality was excellent. The drive was in an almost new, comfortable saloon car and the driving felt reassuringly safe. Johnnie is very knowledgeable and was an interesting companion on the journey and answered all my questions about Malawi, game parks etc. He also made the border crossing easy for me, explaining the procedures at the Malawi and Zambia border posts. My trip exceeded expectations and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing to arrange long distance transport between Malawi and Zambia. The cost was very reasonable. If I hadn't already booked the game lodge I would have been happy to let Misuku Expeditions arrange it for me.

delivers excellent value for safari trips
Ancient routes know very well how to organise safaris. They look at your budget and can then decide which package fits you best. Charles is a very friendly person and a good tour guide. We had the chance to do the safari with a nice jeep and a very experienced tour guide who helped us spotting alm the best animals of the parcs.
The overnight sleeping in the terrirtory of the lions was also a very nice experience. Serengeti and Gorongora are two amazing parcs to visit. Ancient tours is a good organisation.

The best safari company to feel at home, a wild one.
We loved our tour with Wild Planet. They made us feel really confortable, even in a wild place. They were really aware what they were doing and we felt secure in their hands. The handmade cook was SUPERB. <3

Great African Safari Experience
The staff is great. Always looking to make the extra mile to make the staying awesome.
We made a five day safari. Sammy, the guide, is super kind and has a lot of knowlege about the flora and fauna of Tanzania. The food was great and fulfilling.
The Massai experience is highly recommendable. It was very far from the touristic kind. We had the real stuff.
I would deffinitly choose you again guys!
Please stay awesome!

Rude and dismissive guide
It pains me to write a bad review! I took the trip from Dar Es Salaam all the way down to Cape Town, with two different sets of staff: tour guide, cook and bus driver. I can't say enough good things about the second part of the trip, from Victoria Falls to Cape Town. The campsites were beautiful, the food was AMAZING and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. However, the first few weeks of the trip were quite painful, due to our terrible tour guide. He was rude, talked back to customers, wouldn't tell us how long the bus trip would be, and openly mocked customers. My bag got stolen at one campsite (no one's fault at all!) and I couldn't find our tour guide to tell him, he was at the pub having a drink. When I did tell him, he simply kept saying that it 'was not possible' and refused to help in any way at all. I had to contact the reception team at ATC to get a letter (they were quick, sympathetic and professional.)
Overall, my experience was good regarding the campsites, food, locations, and administrative staff. However our guide was so terrible for the first three weeks that it is impossible for me to give ATC more than two stars. :( If you are considering booking a tour, ensure that your tour guide is NOT Frances. I'm sure the rest of the guides are great, and this is just one bad apple. Ensure that Frances is not your guide before leaving.

They make it happen!
We had a safari holiday which was beyond amazing thanks to the help of Megan Warrington.
She carefully curated the itinerary taking into account the dates that we had to travel and the arrangement of my husband joining us later.
Her recommendation were properly chosen in terms of the budget, comfort and services.
She saw to it that we went to Kapama Private Reserve - home to the Big 5.
Megan responded to all our queries including the recommended wear and gear!
She followed up very closely to ensure that all are in place. She even sought feedback after.
We will definitely use this service again!

Great operator - made everything very hassle free!
Adili and Ubuntu Voyages couldn't have made the trip to Nyiragongo any easier. The whole booking and invoicing process was straightforward and honest, and the price was very reasonable. When we arrived all vehicles and drivers were on time, the accommodation was as expected, and it was really a stress-free way to do the trip. I had a couple of friends in from out of town who did the gorillas as well, and they had no issues either. Definitely recommend!

The tour was awesome!!
The service was excellent.
Federica (the guide) was very friendly and she explained with complete presision the animals behavior. We saw many animals (including the Big Five)
In my opinion, Shikwaru Adventures its %100 recommendable. For the next Zafari, i will contract it again!
